1998 Bulls vs Hawks, Jordan 37 pts and buzzer beater

High quality version: • 1998 Bulls vs Hawks, J...
Jordan's stats: 36 minutes, 37 points on 14-22 shooting, 9-12 free throws, 7 rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 steal.
The Hawks were down by 20 at one point but managed to fight their way back into the game in the 4th quarter. With the game tied, Jordan hit a clutch shot with 13 seconds left and gave the Bulls a 2-point lead. Steve Smith coolly sank a couple of free throws at the other end to tie it back up with 4 seconds left. The ball went back to Jordan on the Bulls' final possession, and he sank a shot at the buzzer to give the Bulls a 2 point victory over the Hawks.

[@KCAccidental101]

"He did it again" Pretty ridiculous how Jordan nailed buzzer beaters consistently like it was nothing. Great game.

[@Rosencrantz2008]

Jordan = greatest player ever.

[@youtuber3328]

it's nice to meet you and i'll say the goats are wilt chamberlain and bill russell and michael jordan wasn't quite as legendary as kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell

[@juelzswaggtastic]

teammates so used to it their not even excited

[@km17ten81]

Hehe Yeah! Exactly dude! MJ is MJ

[@AHMAD-2324]

Just another day@The Office for The G.O.A.T!

[@AstroRocket]

It's insane that he still had such athleticism and quickness at 35-36. Kobe in 5 years will not look anywhere near this good. Hell, he's already slower than Mike is in this vid.

[@jimj24]

@winhawk23 Dont forget is not only offense, Jordan actually won the defensive player of the year in 1988 and led the league in steals at least 2 times. Kobe has never come close to it. It´s not even close, Jordan is the best ever.

[@toekneeshin23]

Best parts about this shot: 1) notice how he uses the Hawks double-teamer to screen his own teammate, Smith; and 2) the first guy MJ fist-bumps with right after the shot is Smith haha (shown in different angles in other highlights of this shot)...ultimate respect.

[@IrinaDerevkoLives]

Lenny's wilkins face after the first last second shot sums up how he felt.lol I feel bad for him, jordan always killed his teams.

[@youtuber3328]

it's nice to meet you and the 1992 cavs played the bulls really well in the conference finals but i'm not certain why the 1993 cavs and 1997 hawks probably played about subpar and/or average in the semi finals vs the bulls and please read my comment

[@ballthemblack]

The celebration was kinda hilarious because it was no excitement from the players when Jordan hit the buzzer-beater. It was like another day at the office.

[@sj4632]

It was typical for him lol...

[@baldheadkid]

Man i havent seen this game in so long.. god bless KZbin!

[@Bulkanismo]

3:35 the greatness of pippen, knowing that mj is going to the hole tries to hold dikembe, and he quickly reacts that made him fall down to the floor and gives mj an uncontested dunk,, man you wont see plays like that today,, that's one hell of a play, it is not in the stat sheets but those are the little things that make a team win,, just brilliance

[@algladyou]

Pippen likes to that. I saw him going against a player posting him. Guy was pushing back and Pippen backed off and the guy lost his balance as he pushes back. 😅😅😅

[@meg-k-waldren]

What a riveting ending. And 4:44 though. SMH. WOW just WOW. There will never be another MJ. EDIT: 5:18. MJ entertainment value is off the charts.

[@Jumpman1989]

I think not everyone realize how tough that last shot was. Michael jumped very high, he had to twist his body in the air with fade away. If you play basketball you know how difficult to do that

[@sealoftheliving4998]

True

[@BrawlerTM]

this is just amazing really...nobody can stop jordan...has all the moves and tricks....best in the clutch.....ever!....the highest of basketball IQ... everyone wants to be like mike...what an incredible basketball player

[@mishra88]

Back when East was strong, now East is so weak with only 3 teams over .500

[@jaa0702]

Scottie grabs Mutombo's hand to distract him when MJ was driving. I've seen MJ do it to in other games when Scottie drove to the hoop. The result, a dunk, or a layup uncontested or on somebody. Intelligent tricks by both.

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Were lucky to have live in a Time to see Jordan, he was all will always be the Best! MY favorite thing about him he always gave Props to the Guys before him "Elgin Baylor' Russell, Cousey, DJ J, Kareem , Oscar Robinson, Etc. Hes up there with Babe Ruth, ALI, Sugar Ray Robison, Jesse Owens, Mickey Mantle, Etc. True Legend, thats still alive cause usually a Person this Legendary are usually not with us no More. Props!!

[@DimitriJordanFrench]

I love how the announcer wasn't shocked at all!

[@IAMiamiSteve]

this shit is just beautiful man i can watch this over and over and OVER im so shitty i wasnt born in his time

[@Weber562]

Jordan was given a phenomenol athletic body. I mean this performance is just a tribute to how much his body has sustained over periods of time whether it's the the "Big Three" of the Boston Celtics, "The Showtime Lakers" or the Detriot "Bad Boy" Pistons it's just simply unreal. Also though a tribute to how he conditioned his body in the off-season year after year he got better and better every year because he worked more vigorously than anybody else in the off-season. 51 points at the age of 38.

[@tommy19970532]

0:37 jordan double dribble

[@ThePanthersdkfz]

I think he cought the bounce pass and then did the fake. Not sure however, because the camera angle is unfortunate for that play.

[@jackofalltrades4572]

If you actually played ball, you wouldn't even say that shit

[@mattslev]

This footage is poor image quality, but that is not a double-dribble. Jordan received a bounce pass, then took one dribble and shot.

[@donteoliver8947]

@tommy 19970532 ...know he didn't

[@rudyramos2333]

the announcer just said, "He did it again" like he wasnt suprised

[@MIKESOWELL]

@tutubapo When he retire in 1993, the Bulls retired his #23 jersey. So when he came back, he couldn't wear that number. So he wore his #45 number from baseball. But during the playoffs against the Magic he switched back to #23, but the NBA fined him for it. Eventually, the league stopped fining him.

[@LuigiLaker]

How many times has the great MJ been offensive player of the year...? damn.

[@noel8421]

jordan, and all his teammates were all like... "just another day at the office"

[@bullzman23]

Haha, go Scottie!

[@ALLiDOisFLOPsets]

2:11.. you hear jordan call for it

[@pucpimp]

"he did it again"....such deflation from the hawks announcer. haha. usually it's a national broadcast and the announcer is excited at such a finish

[@aak7230]

If you enter, and there is a player introduction of Bulls of this match, would you show it by all means?

[@staticfearx]

the commentators aren't even surprised.

[@kuriaki71]

jordan is basketball end of story

[@kanguesso]

i second that my friend. couldn't have said it better if i tried.

[@rmur23]

LOL at Blaylock collapsing when the last shot goes in. Hawks would have been better with Smith 1 on 1. When Blaylock runs at MJ, he gets in Smiths way and MJ drives right at him.

[@tutubapo]

@MIKESOWELL thank you :)

[@TBlake34]

Yes, watch that video. Phil starts by saying Kobe is a better LONG RANGE shooter, then spends the rest of the interview explaining why Jordan was better. Phil covers the strength, the inside game, the ball-control. In another interview he claims that MJ would average 45ppg under the current NBA rules. Kobe is on Phil's team now, he isn't going to kill him and say he's nothing compared to MJ. He has to keep Kobe happy, but if you actually listen to what he says, Phil knows MJ was better.

[@tutubapo]

can someone tell me why had he number 23 at the beggining of his carrer, the 45 and the 23 again? sorry bout my english, but i want to know that :)

[@MrPato1230]

3:35 dirty play by Pippen :(

[@airtime23]

How many circus shots can one guy have ????? WOW

[@honoretchou1124]

Michael Jordan 23: Just another day in the office.

[@garysamuels6139]

"He did it again"

[@goodbadbill]

Even Mutumbo gave MJ a fist bump

[@diamenz]

i can't believe luc blew that dunk @ 4:10 - would have been a nice play

[@JSTAT1006]

@123Therapist ge's the hawks commentator.

[@thesly25]

i was thinking the same thing. it seemed almost routine at this point...

[@Dysthmic_Danny]

Best fundamentals ever

[@Crocodile2345]

@falconcourt500 Oh you meant that ok i thought about the fake. Well in that case i think it's an obvious travel if he touches the ball initially, but in fact i think he does not touch it and it lets it fall without touching his hand! It's hard to see it but i think it's a good illusion that makes us think he touched it. But perhaps i'm wrong and he touched it, no big matter anyway. :-)

[@popeyeisgood]

totally agree with you bballmemories! great upload mlynch07!

[@jimj24]

@jonnyrisas Well, like it or not, stats talk more than words...

[@jomzkeeyt6897]

nice move pip @3:35

[@macoy346]

Look at 3:32 at no.32 at the paint .He pulled mutombo to give jordan a dunk..

[@blackadam06]

"Kobe's a better shooter..Phil Jackson even said so" He also once said that BJ Armstrong & H. Grant were the "best" at their positions regarding the '93 & '94 seasons. In case U haven't noticed, Phil's KNOWN for talkin' up his "current" players. Somehow, U kobe homers seem to think that his level of skill is defined by expressed opinions of it, but not by his consistent on-court production in the "skilled facets" of the game, which are the RESULTS of the very skill in question..

[@keichannnn]

2021 any?

[@FriendForever23]

@20 sec is that a 3 step lay up?

[@bobbo0383]

It looks like he pulled on his shorts.

[@char4ever]

his role is just like Bill in the first 3peat. dont really have to be amazing but hawve to be in the role.

[@Capo02110]

Evil

[@godzillaepic]

why am i not surprise?

[@youtuber3328]

please tell me why the hawks in the 1993 1st round and 1997 semi finals never won even 1 home game over the bulls and i'll say the goats are wilt chamberlain and bill russell and michael jordan wasn't quite as legendary as kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell

[@jonalynpementel9179]

Magic is Micheal Jordan,. 1👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@B23rie]

ok people . SERIOUSLY. THERE IS NO ONE BETTER THAN MJ! not kobe & not lebron .. kk :)

[@jairlevy]

steps

[@kevindontgetcrack]

haha michael doubled at 0:36

[@madein0]

最後一擊進了 怎麼大家都不high啊 還是說大家都認為喬老大一定會進呢

[@CorpusCallosal]

@BIGBOSS1983100 why lebron? That dude practically worships MJ.

[@lakidj23887]

awesome, but hawks with some AWFUL D on the last shot, should have at least put the hand up

[@BrawlerTM]

@jimj24 ofcourse i have seen jordan play....it's amazing...no doubt...but kobe is a better jump shooter than MJ... kobe takes more shots than anybody...practicing that is....makes a 1000 a day...among other things...but i have seen both shoot...and kobe is a better jump shooter...i don't care about the fg% carreer wise....stats stats stats...a lot of things come in to play in that case...lay-ups and points in the paint close in count as fg and add to the percentage...im talking outside jumper

[@Barcamanil]

nice try Kobe...

[@NYCGERSON777]

hahaha i saw it

[@EmmanuelStalling]

Alan Henderson, worst ball player ever....

[@BrawlerTM]

@winhawk23 kobe is a better jump shooter than mj was.....from the field also includes layups and in the paint leaners and all that don't forget.....kobe's shot is beautiful in slowmo....kobe mid range like jordan is deadly....best i've seen....and the shots he makes...incredible....mj aswell...but kobe is the better jump shooter...especially from downtown...jordan is better in other ways...but i give the shooting to kobe...hands down

[@carlinschulenberg5188]

90's a weak era?

[@123Therapist]

lol at the announcer's reaction to the buzzer beater: he did it again. it's almost as if he's seen this too many times...oh wai

[@MrEkin03]

He did it again :) even the crowd is used to it

[@glenbard07]

I remember watching this as a 9-year-old on a Friday night on WGN. Naturally, I exploded as soon as the shot went in.

[@olorinimppala]

Just on buzzer beater game winning shots alone, MJ is the GOAT.

[@BMag4ever]

Awww.... poor Lenny Wilkins has been on the wrong end of so many of MJ's most memorable games, and buzzer beaters from the 69 points, to THE SHOT in 89 and THE SHOT II in 93.

[@ricosauve5]

MJ the GOAT

[@km17ten81]

Ngayon, pag nakakapag-buzzerbeater ang mga players, akala mo kung sinong magagaling na talaga eh. The Swag and Arrogance always come first to these New-Generation Players unlike Michael Jordan. Jordan rarely praise himself. He Walk the Talk always!

[@blackadam06]

"He did it again" Classic MJ LOL!!

[@Retrolock]

pippen was so crafty. look at the way he distracted mutombo at 3:36, paving the way for the uncontested MJ dunk

[@sealoftheliving4998]

😂😂😂😂 pip grab the hand of motumbo to distract him and give MJ dunk😂😂😂

[@jumpnam]

I swear man, Jordan is the ONLY player ive ever watched that makes me laugh out loud with joy when he's rollin like that. The man was soo great, when he's hittin those crazy contested fallaways over and over again, it just makes me laugh, I dont know why! He used to just ridicule the defence.

[@NathanKJohnson]

Michael's teammates and the announcers were so used to this, nobody was excited. Just another day at the office.

[@algladyou]

Cold blooded

[@BJHines-oz2bk]

he did it again. so unsurprised ...

[@FROSTY420692002]

omg wow

[@lionelangemario]

@Mozac i was about to do the same comment...incredible...

[@therealc.t.7085]

@3:35 🤣🤣🤣 edit:watch Pippen closely

[@meg-k-waldren]

Back when the NBA was fun to watch. If its today the officials will review the play 10x then say it was or wasnt a purposeful foul. Total momentum killer.

[@blackadam06]

Kobe just "relies" on the 3 more than MJ, but ISN'T any better than him from out there. He shoots almost TWICE as many as MJ, but career wise is only 2% better? What's that tell ya?!! Seasons shooting at least 40% in 3's: MJ 2 > KB 0 39% in 3's: MJ 1 > KB 0 37% in 3's: MJ 4 > KB 2 35% in 3's: MJ 5 > KB 4 Career Playoff 3-pt%: MJ 33% > kobe 31% Career Finals 3-pt%: MJ 37% > kobe 28% In MJ's 1st 3-peat, he shot 38% B4 it was moved in. During kobe's 3-peat, he shot 36% AFTER it was moved in..

[@BrawlerTM]

@jimj24 not that i like it or dislike it.....but i believe that kobe is a better shooter of the basketball than jordan was... i know this is saying alot...bring on the hate..lol...i am a huge huge jordan fan..like anybody who knows basketball...don't get me wrong...he is the best player ever..hands down..

[@ChomskyAnarchist]

With the exception of the Cleveland 89 shot. That was the best reaction ever.

[@Jumpman1989]

you have to play this game to realize how hard that last shot really was

[@sealoftheliving4998]

Yes. Very high jump and good shot❤

[@suttonsplash14]

🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@noel8421]

LOL.... GREAT ONE PIP!!! HAHAHAH 3:36

[@jrbhbr]

4:49 - Another one for the memory bank.

[@FrYLocK41]

it wasnt a double dribble, he lost control of the ball when it was passed to him. you can do that in the nba

[@cooljjjj]

@MIKESOWELL Actually, when MJ came back he could have worn #23, but he chose to wear #45 instead to signal a new beginning. During the playoffs against the Magic, Nick Anderson said "45 isn't as good as 23". MJ got pissed, switched back to #23 and lit the Magic up for 38 points in the next game. The only reason MJ was fined was because he didn't notify the league of his number change.

[@kanguesso]

i know you're not trying to say kobe is better than jordan right? because if you are, here are a few stats you should look at before you go down that road my friend. 6 rings, 6 finals MVP, 6-0 in the finals, 10 scoring tittles, 5 regular season MVPs, 1 defensive player of the year, led the league in assits one whole season. enough said. you try to argue with those numbers, you're fucking insane. talke to me when kobe surpasses those numbers. we all know he will never be undfeated in the finals.

[@rmur23]

@jonnyrisas Kobe has a MUCH worse career FG% (Kobe .455 to MJ .497 (and MJ was .505 with Bulls)). They had virtually identical 3 point and FT % (Kobe .340 to MJ .327 (.332 with Bulls) and FTs Kobe leads .838 to .835 (.838 w Bulls). Not to mention MJ playing in a league with tougher defensive rules and not a watered down expansion league.

[@winhawk23]

Kobe has NEVER had a season in which he shot better than 46% from the floor. MJ had 6 seasons in which he shot better than 50% from the floor.., and if he hadn't played those two years in Washington, he would have finished at 50% for his career! Explain to me how that makes Kobe a better shooter.

[@JZ2001JC]

Unusual to see the score as high as it was. COnsidering both were great Defensive teams in the era that Defense reigned in the NBA (Usually scores in the 990s NBA were under 100 PTS). This is more like a usual triple digit score of the 1980s NBA style.
